After being exposed for airing a doctored video of President Donald Trump – made to look as if he was sticking his tongue out at the American people in an address to the nation – a local Seattle, Washington television station has fired the editor it says is responsible.

Recall the dust-up at a presser in the WH when Jim wouldn’t give up the mic? Here is a recall as to the topic. Then we have a clip of Mika and Joe making the proverbial ass of themselves. Benny Johnson gives a real treat and a treatment to Jim Acosta.

Enjoy!

“Jim Acosta lectured President Trump about the migrant caravan saying: – Not an invasion – Hundreds of miles away – Would not jump border wall. I overlaid actual footage from today of the migrant caravan storming the border to invade the US over Jim’s question. I hope you enjoy.” — It’s hard not to enjoy Jim Acosta making a colossal ass of himself. But man, he really, really screwed up this time. — JL.

Now that Jim Acosta’s got his hard pass back, we’re looking forward to seeing him confront Donald Trump on the migrant caravan again. Because it’s pretty clear from this video by Benny Johnson that it didn’t work out so well for him the last time around: — Benny @bennyjohnson

So nice to have the internet to reflect on what once was “Fake News.”

‘Morning Joe’ Co-Hosts’ Mockery Of Fox News’ Caravan Coverage Did Not Age Well

If you only got your news from MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” you might have been quite surprised to learn it was actually happening: — Kyle Morris @RealKyleMorris: “Here’s Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski mocking Fox News’ coverage of the migrant caravan the day after midterm elections. They seem to consider it no big deal. Scarborough: “It’s such nonsense … they’re not coming.”” — Earlier this month it was a “ghost caravan”: — MSNBC @MSNBC: “.@JoeNBC: “My feeling has been you know what this is America…you vote the way obviously you want to vote…That’s a little harder to do in 2018 when you have the President of the United States lying about small pox…lying about this ghost caravan.””

Maybe someone could forward this tidbit of information over to the Clinton Crime Network aka CNN just for the facts. Acosta is having a meltdown as well as many of his colleagues in trying to determine fact from fiction. Or rather, whether they should even bother to care, I give you this:

With mainstream media reporters telling their audiences that the end is nigh over the Trump White House decision to hold fewer press briefings on camera, few are mentioning that the move is not without precedent — with President Bill Clinton’s White House turning off the cameras in the ’90s because they weren’t “necessary.”

But a March 1993 C-SPAN interview with then-White House Press Secretary Dee Dee Myers is putting a wrench in that particular narrative. In that interview, Myers said they stopped allowing cameras for White House briefings conducted by Communications Director George Stephanopoulos as they weren’t “really necessary.”

She noted that there were multiple briefings where cameras were allowed, and even the beginning of Stephanopoulos’s briefing was on-camera, but that the presence of cameras meant that the briefings were less productive.

“The briefing is more an opportunity to exchange ideas and to have a conversation about what’s happening,” Myers said, in a similar argument made presently by Trump administration officials. “That wasn’t really happening in a way that … as productively as we had hoped. H/T: Breitbart
